Hi Guys! So I have a secret addiction- it’s called Instagram :). Seriously, if I could take pretty pictures all day I would be a happy girl. I love posting over on @athomewithashley (come join the fun!) and always get questions on there about styling and growing my following. I attempted to write a blog post about how to create a flat lay and it was way TOO long! So I made it into a free ebook for you, my amazing audience :).
I formatted it into a few sections-
Inspiration Sources
Backdrop Ideas
Collecting your Props (which goes into creating a theme, using a color pallet, texture, balance, and prop ideas)
Arrange your Props (with subsections of layout options, negative space, rule of thirds, showing the presence of life, cropping and stacking, and questions to ask yourself to make sure you got the perfect photo)
Taking the Photo (with tips on how to get the best lighting, using a reflector, and some basic photography tips)
Editing
Hashtags
I used all I know from doing photography styling at work and read every article I could find on the subject. I collected everything together and put it in one pretty package. If you want this free ebook, just put in your email here:

Isn’t flat lay styling an art! This reminds me of a great stock shop I discovered if you want styled images like flowers, desktop, etc. for your blog site: http://bit.ly/2bmxtEB
